The ugly truth is white on white crime does exist. It is a growing pandemic in the white community, and if we don't call attention to this problem soon, there will be no more white people left to run the world.

Fifty years after the bloody Selma march shocked Johnson and the nation into taking fast track action to right a glaring historic wrong, namely the denial of the right to vote to millions in America, that right is still under intense assault. This is why we still need a Selma today.

Locks are an unapologetically black hairstyle, from their origins to the growing process. And while natural black hair has been put down for hundreds of years in the United States, Zendaya Coleman was showcasing pride.

A multi-cultural group of retired and former police officers met with Rep. Jackson Lee of Texas to share and discuss their varied personal experiences with regard to institutionalized racism and the unnecessary state-sponsored murders of all Americans.

Now, perhaps more than ever before, black people are joining forces and standing up for their rights and recognition. Yet, there is still disharmony within that same united front when it comes to accepting our transgender brothers and sisters.

And Malcolm X stands for self-empowerment. He is proof that anyone, even those who have fallen far, can free himself. You just have to work harder. That's why his spirit is very much still alive in the whole wide world even 50 years after his death.

All loans are not created equal, and in recent years the personal loan has become a great option for people to use. However, you might be wondering just what makes a personal loan different from a traditional loan from your bank.

Not only should we seek to achieve energy equity for all consumers, we also need to support diversity and inclusion efforts, and ensure that this is a priority for today's emerging, clean energy sector.

Too many of us have not been good to our HBCUs, but time and dwindling resources are moving faster than our own individual maturity. And for the HBCUs which need the support, the time for harvest is now; even from unyielding crops like me.

While overall rates of disconnection from society are likely to trend down as the nation recovers from the Great Recession, history suggests that disconnected young men of color are in danger of being permanently left behind, and this has implications for future generations.

Honoring the foot soldiers of Selma is a great step forward on the march toward justice for those who sacrificed for us. However, the momentum must continue. There must be just as strong a showing of bipartisan support to fix the legislation for which they sacrificed, starting with congressional hearings and votes to move the bill forward.

Students (young and older) respond to instruction in the way that is expected of them. If taught as if they are slow, students will conform to that perception. Imagine what would happen if we treated all students, from the earliest years through their post-secondary studies, as if there were geniuses inside, simply waiting for recognition.

Watching Common and John Legend make history in what was an emotionally moving performance of "Glory," and win the Academy Award for Best Original Song was more than I could have dreamed. Everything else paled in comparison, and it wasn't long before we called it a night.

Fitz is an extremely aggressive individual, and I often get scared watching his interactions with both Mellie and Olivia, but somehow the show still paints him as the victim, the "good guy," and I really don't think it is okay.

Her skin color and hair gettin lighter every damn day! She still won't change her dress either and dance? They both don't show class, respect, pride in their hertigage & culture, and is a big dissapointment in my eyes. Not sayin they are ugly but what they do is ugly! That's my opinion and it's not being hateful. I'm being TRUTHFUL! I'm afraid to see what they will be wearin tonight at the Grammy's?

Just to make clear, Beyonce can sing but don't have to show a lot of skin & dance innapropriate, be someone she's not? Beyonce is not TRASHY & SLAUGHTY like Riahnna, but should show more class on how she dressess, BE ORIGINAL, BE NATURAL, BE MATURE, and be on the level where she needs to be? If you got talent, you don't have to do all those other things to get attention?

As far as Riahnna, the girl can't sing worth a dang, she is not entertaining, but IRRATATING, and thinks by dressin half naked, dancin NASTY, dressin CrAzY, and actin a damn fool makes her a PROFESSIONAL SINGER, HELL NO IT DOESN'T! When are Singers/Celebs will get it through there heads that it's not just what's on the outside, what materialistic things you have, that matters the most and makes you the best in what you do? I don't think that's GENUINE at all? Again, that is my opinion not hate, just being TRUTHFUL.

Rhianna looks great and she is still very young, but Beyonce looks very unhappy, and the smile just does not look real, she just seems like she is sad the smile is fake and she has aged a bit since her marriage, i wonder why, could it be pressure from her husband, after all he is a bit older than she is! Poor Beyonce...

Don't read too much into the picture, cuz we all know that nobodys marriage is perfect. Yes, celebrities too have bad days when they are married. I'll be married tomorrow for 21 years and I definitely know that if she is sad about her marriage or her husband ticking her off,etc., that won't be the last. The most important thing is to continue to luv eachother ignore all the haters, continue to communicate and compromise and keep the luv and lust alive and well in their marriage. People need to stop thinking that celebrities are immune to being unappy or sad sometimes. We all have sad days with or without a helpmate. People want to see that Bey and J are broken up, because they are a power couple and they are doing it big. Luv ya Bey and keep rocking it sister! I too know how it feels to be hated on. All the ones that hated on me and my GOOD husband over the years are miserable and don't have a man.
